THE PURPOSE OF THE TRUST

The purpose of the Trust is to promote the education (including social and physical education) of persons under the age of 25 who are resident in the City and District of Carlisle, other than for the purposes of education. Awards can be made under the following headings:

1 Exhibitions tenable at any school, training college for teachers, university or other institution of further (including professional and technical) education approved for the purpose by the Trustees:

2  Financial assistance, outfits, clothing, tools, instruments, travel or books to assist beneficiaries to pursue their education (including the study of music and other arts) or to prepare for or enter a profession, trade, occupation or service on leaving school, University or other educational establishment:

3  Otherwise promoting the education of beneficiaries, including those with special needs.

Awards will be made entirely on individual merits and on the individual’s suitability for whatever type of course he or she chooses to pursue to qualify him or her more fully for the trade or profession in which he or she is interested.

Should you be successful, you will be required to submit an A4 report of how the award has benefited you. This will then be presented to the Board of Trustees.
